According to prosecutors, Bracey and co-defendant Demetrius Warren stole two guns — a .22 caliber and .38 caliber — from a home in the 7000 block of South Euclid Avenue on Nov. 13, 2007.

Warren shot Cisse, 29, once in the chest with the stolen .22 as he and Williams tried to grab Cisse’s book bag in the 6100 block of South Ellis Avenue, Turano charged in court.

Cisse, a Senegalese national who was a month away from earning his doctorate, had attended an ice cream social and chatted with friends the night he was killed. He had just left campus with his backpack and a water bottle when he was accosted about 1:30 a.m., Turano said.

Bracey was in a Pontiac Bonneville with the driver, Eric Walker, and another person, waiting as the shooting took place, she said.

All five had been driving around in the car as Warren went on a spree, holding up others, sometimes with the assistance of the other, Turano said.

About 15 minutes before Cisse was gunned down, Bracey and Warren had held up two other U. of C. students as they left the college library. They stole the womens’ pens, credit cards and wallets, Turano said.

After Cisse was shot and the men fled, the credit cards were used to buy gas to fill up the Bonneville.

A body was discovered Sunday in the search-and-recovery mission for a west suburban woman who went missing off a northwest Indiana beach after she and two other swimmers got caught in a rip current Friday evening.
